Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Ammo pricing poll

I see tons of canning stuff. No lids. Jars with lids, rings with lids, but no lids.

It seems as though it's spiked to the highest its been from the get go. 223 nearly as high as it was just before the Pres. election 2016.

With grey optimism, I see it rising a bit more but leveling off the middle of the year.

A new mass shooting, or a new passed anti-gun bill will only blow out any prediction we could have. Prices we've never seen.

Well, since all commercial sale will obviously be done away with, the going price will be whatever the entrepreneurs who have wisely filled their warehouses demand. The fact that those conducting these transactions will be ruthlessly hunted down by jackbooted thugs will command an even higher price due to the risk involved. Since there will be no "cost of replacement" due to the forced closure of all commercial operations, there will be no ceiling whatsoever on that front.

I don't have any idea high prices will go or for how long but I have been following on-line auctions with ammo. One that is going on now has a 1400 count bucket of Golden Bullet Remington 22lr currently at $250 and 50 rd boxes of 380 ball at $60 with an additional 13% buyers premium added to the final bid AND the sale still has 9 days and 20 hours to run.
I saw another one that had some CCI lr in 50 count boxes that were at $25 and that sale was still active. Fifty cents per shot for 22 long rifle .... crazy.

Sam,

If just for hunting I suspect I would never have to handload again for 20 years, at least. I might be shooting a hog with a 416 Remington though... That said I and the boys are set to play as well.

That is not an unrealistic projection.

The LGS by me has tons of ammo, literally. But, mgr says buying has slowed recently because of price. He says owners will just sit on it, people aren't going to find it elsewhere.

My opinion...


1) 9mm ball $1.10 July 1 2021 and $1.75 January 2022

2) 9mm Self Defense $2.25 & $2.55

3) 45 ACP ball $2.05 & $2.55

4) 45 ACP SD $2.75 & $3.45

5) 5.56 blammo $1.75 & $2.45

6) 5.56 Green Tip. $2.25 & $2.75

7) 30-06 hunting ammo $1.25 & $1.65

I check back on July 1 and January 1

talking to a friend of mine tonight, employed by nationally known name, about price and availability. people are still buying a ever raised prices.I have a feeling you haven't seen nothing yet. i know i turn now a guy for 2boxes of 9mm last month, 50bucks a box. its now 75bucks.

It is also my opinion that OSB will go from $8 per sheet on January 1, 2020 to $32 a sheet on January 1, 2022.

Don't worry... many will get a $600 stimulus check.

One year ago AssPro/Cabela’s had a sale: CCI Blazer brass 9mm ball ammo was $8.79 per 50 rounds. Limit of 50 boxes.
November, 2019 Academy Sports was selling CCI Blazer 9mm 500 round bulk packs for $85.

All we need is another Republican President.

I think what I have right now is gonna have to last me indefinitely.

I wish I'd of bought more ammo when I could of. There's no telling what might be coming about.

I don't know about July 1st but a friend told me today he ordered two boxes of 380 from Natchez (I think Natchez) today for $100 a box of 50! Two bucks a shell lol, told him he's an idiot

I'm not paying near that for 9mm, though those prices are all over the place. Paid 28 bucks last night for a box of 50.

What are you looking for

If you're paying $28/box of 50 for 9mm, you should buy every single box you can lay your hands on.

Russ, either a 7.7. or a 6.5.

Ron, that was the story at a big gun show I went to last weekend in West Palm Beach, FL. Lot of people buying ammo at high prices. What I've also seen is they are only buying 1 or 2 boxes at the asking prices. ?? I don't see what that's going to do for you. You'd shoot that much up just in initial practice.

The prices at that show on 9mm ranged from lowest at $39.99/box to $50-55-60/box.
